Reebok Angel Reese 1 "Gala Green"

For lifelong basketball sneaker fans, few recent news items evoke as much nostalgia as the return of Reebok Basketball, with iconic figures like Allen Iverson and Shaquille O'Neal leading the charge to bring the sub-brand into the 2020s. The legendary Aristotle focused on convincing Angel Reese to become the first sponsored athlete of this new era, bringing personality to the brand and capitalizing on the growing prestige of women's basketball.

Now, after a couple of seasons since its launch, the Reebok Angel Reese 1 has a new collection. In addition to adapting to warm climates with appropriate color palettes, the Angel Reese 1 "Green Gala" evokes one of her most iconic off-court moments, recalling the 2014 Met Gala, where the then-rookie embraced the "Garden of Time" concept with a custom 16Arlington design that included a lace gown, an ostrich feather halo, and a sequined bodice.

Of course, the Reese 1's robust construction remains intact instead of resorting to delicate materials, but those mint green hues make the connection evident; multiple shades of green dance across the synthetic side cages, upper, and outsole units, where a cutout window exposes the ERS cushioning that gives the shoe its bounce.
